"RuR by a RiEg."

In our last issue we proffered our columns to the special writer of the Citizen, that he might make good his grave charges against the officials of the county. To date, though having patiently awaited and anxiously expected his facts- his pregnant and suggestive facts we have received not line Possi bly, the author is absent-did not see our ofer-probably he has no facts-possibly he has more impor- tant personal matters to attend to. Certainly there is some cause for this delay-for we cannot induce ourselves to believe that any repu- table citizen of our county, would, in sheer wantonness seek to wound the pride of our officials, and what is infinitely worse, do hIs utmost to destroy the credit of our county abroad. Is it possible that we have in our midst a responsible citizen a property owner, taxpayer, who, having made an effort to elevate himself, has failed, and now, as he  retires from his attempted ascent, Is firing back Parthian arrows, poi soned with his chagrin and malice? Is 1t possible that the successful career of the District Attorney has created envy in the special writer's breast, and he thus attempts to vent his spleen? Is it possible that the Honorable Board of Supervisors have sat down upon some pet scheme of his, and he now gives expression to his resentment?
 We will not believe it-we will patiently wait for devel pnents.

such company. and where such lands are for any reason excepted from the operation of-the grant ot said company, it shall be lawful for d bona iidc purchaser thereof from said company to make payment tn the United States for said land, and thereupon patents shall issue there on to said bona fide purchaser. The question submitted under this sec ton is, whether the proviso last quoted is confined in its applica- ton to lands within the primary granted limits, or whether 1t ap- plies to land within the indemnity limits, of which the company had made a selection, but which has not been approved. The attorney gen eral says the first section of the act i; in the case of the word grant" :" must have necessarily included both primary and indemnity limits in the adjustment, as 1t was doubtless intended that the adjustment should be full and final one. The pro lection offered and redress granted settlers by each of these sections is fully as in portant in the indemnity as in the primary limits and in or der that a remedy may be adequate to redress a wrong, the word grant in the fifth section must he intend- ed to include as it does in the pro ceedirg sections, both primary and indemnity lands.
 Upon the receipt of the opinion Secretary Lamar directed the Com missioner of the General Land Of flee U proceed at once, and with as much dispatch as ? 'ssible, to ad- just all land grants under the act of March 3.

Tucson, Globe and Northern.

At meeting of the stockholders of the Narrow Guage railroad this morning, they changed the name of the road to Tucson, Globe < North ern railroad. The proposed route will be north from Tucson over.the old Narrow Guage grade to the junction of the Gila and San Ped TO rivers, where it will diverge and run to or near Globe. From Globe it will run in a northwesterly direc- ton and intersect the Atlantic and Pacific near the western boundary of New Mexico. The route will be about 210 miles long and will pass through Pima, Pinal, Graham, Gila, Yavapai and Apache counties. The stockholders also authorized the President and Secretary to execute the mortgage to the American Trust Company of Boston not to exceed S20,O0O per mile as fast as com pleted. The mortgage bonds will run thirty years and bear interest at the rate of seven per cent, inter- est payable semi-annually.
 
 It is understood that the Trust Company mentioned, have signified their willingness and desire to ac- cept these bonds, and work will commence as soon as the proper papers can be executed.-Tucson Citizen.

Wagon Road COnlmissiOners.


 The county has heard and seen but little of the Wagon Road Com missioners during the past year. Whether or not this Commissior has exhausted it's funds, we do not know but, if there should be any funds at their command, the coun- ty would like to see 1t expended upon the roads. There is not a public highway in tie county that does not need rtpairs,. and have been sadly in want of them ever since the organization of said Com mission, three years ago.
 It can scarcely be presumed that this body can conceive much honor in posing before the people of the county as Board of Wagon Road Commissioners, by existing along for an indefinite period, with mea- gre funds which could be satisfac- torily expended upon any road in the county at the present time, or, at any time during the past three years.
 We hope that this Board will not become an eye-sore before the peo- pie, as it has become monoto- nous, but use what funds they have in repairing our county roads-af- ter which they can submit report of their actions and doings before the proper tribunal thereby put ting an end to a commission which has been abhorred by the people since its conception

THE Tombstone Prospector, a Republican journal of the stalwart school, speaks in the following eu- logistic terms of President Cleve- lands judicial appointments in this Territory:
 "The judiciary of Arizona is one of which it may feel proud. Taken as a body it is composed of able lawyers, who are not only fully ca pablo of fulfilling their duties, but who are thoroughly identified with the interests of the territory. They are not only able but Jealous in the performance of their duties. We take special pride in saying that in the person of Judge Barnes, the first judicial district has as able and conscientious a man as ever wore the judicial ermine. AS far as we know and from the reports given the same is true of the other districts of the Territory. An able and efficient judiciary is highly necessary to the prosperity of any country, reficcting as it does, the intelligence of it's people, and for this reason we say Arizona has just cause to feel proud of this branch of governmental appointees."

THE Texas Live Stock .Jo

THE Texas Live Stock Journal, in commenting on the situation of the live stock interests in that State says: "The feeling in cattle of all kinds is becoming decidedly frmer in this section of country. It IS years since Southwest Texas at this time of year has had better pros poets for the wintering of stock, and the impression seems general that in the spring and late winter the beef market will have greatly im- proved. While stock cattle have not changed hands to any great ex- tent, there is some inquiry and a confident feeling that they would be safe investment. Prices have actually advanced from 10 to 15 per cent within the last month, with little pressure to sell by holders.

NE hone the Alhnnnernne {

WE hope the Albuquerque Citi- zen, which we prize greatly as an exchange, will be as generous to our people in its sense of justice, as it has in it's sense of injustice, and not give it's columns to those whose only object is to use them in giving vent to personal venom, and wounding the credit and standing of county in which law and or der are admitted to prevail. The name and reputation of the county should not be made to suffer from the mere fact of blinded preiu- dice entertained by one individual toward another. There is a way in which these matters can be more honorably settled by the individ uals themselves, and at the same time prove less injurious to the public.
 If there be corruption among the county officials; and, if there be, as is admitted, Claw and order pre- vailing," it would certainly seem to us that the outside press should permit our grand juries to attend to such corruption, instead of talk ing the responsibility upon them selves, by giving their columns away to those whose only aim is to injure the county and self-aggran- dizement. The county has received about enough of islander from these sore-heads, who look in print as they do in person-and we trust our esteemed contemporaries, while they credit us having law, will leave our corruption, if such we have, to the investigation of our grand iu- ries who can attend to it in man. ner much more satisfactorily to our county.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Socorro Bullion says that the latest device in the cattle stealing business on this range is to catch the calf and mark 1t with the owners mark and prick the owners brand on 1t. One would have to look close to observe that the brand was not genuine, but as spring comes and the calf be- comes a yearling, and as the skin is not injured, the hair sheds of and there is no sign of a brand on the yearling then the mark is very easily changed and a brand put on to suit the notion of the thief.

THINK OF THEE.

When evening spreads his crimson veil
Along the Western sky,
And the shadows stalk like giants pale,
Or in the distance fly;
When Luna dances on the wave.
Or sleeps on ruined tower,
Or looking from her higher concave,
Sees Beauty in her bower,
think of thee! think of thee!
My love, I think of thee!
Whom day walks forth in splendid garb.
And night in black attire,
Or armed with Winters artic barb.
Or Summers fervid fire;
Through good and i'll. through veal and woe
Ill love thee still,
And my rapt heart, where'er 1 go,
With that dear thought WI thrill,
think of thee think of thee!
My love, think ofthee.

Weed Ont the Flock.

This is the best season for classification of
ewes and disposing of the poorest. By this
time a correct Judgment Of the lamb or
lambs reared by each eve can be formed;
and the weight Of each fleece is also known.
The proftableness of a eve depends upon
the number and quality of the lambs she
raises, her weight of wool, etc. One eve
may raise lamb while another loses hers;
yet the former will shear such poor fleece
that she is really the less profitable. The
loss of lamb often occurs through no fault
of the eve. Nevertheless, prolificacy is
desirable quality in eve. A good eve
properly treated before and after yeaning,
can rear two good lambs without injury to
herself. Some ewes are better mothers than
others.
1t certainly will not be profitable to keep
| the inferior sheep through next winter. If
the classification is made now, the rejected
class can be made ready for market on
grass. which makes the cheapest f1esh.-
Many farmers will find the most profitable
market for these culls On their own farms.
Truly there is prejudice among consumers
against aged ewes. But this is chiefly ow-
ing to the fact that such are often put upon
the market in poor condition. A lean sheep
does not make good mutton, whatever its
age. It is not claimed that fattening an
old eve will make her yield the best NUT
ton; but it may be made good and palatable.
When the ewes are culled out every year,
there will be soon no very old ones. This
| is not the season for the consumption Of
salt pork; and all things considered, NUT
ton will be good thing for the farmers 8
